Step inside the Lancaster Bakery, a place with family history as rich as the delicious treats that can be found there. This memoir cookbook shares stories of an extended bakery family in a small Southern town during the '50s and '60s. The book celebrates the sweet and savory memories of the author's childhood and the bond she formed with her twin sister. With recipes and stories for each season, LANCASTER BAKERY: Thank You, Come Back to See Us is both a culinary and literary delight.
The author is an Epilepsy Foundation Donation Partner and is donating 10 percent of the book royalties to the Epilepsy Foundation in memory of her twin sister, Rita Ann Hinson.
. . . this is more than a look at the bakery's history as it includes complex topics like segregation . . . The bakery's story is heartwarmingly told, tender and compassionate. The recipes that made it famous and the photographs that illustrate it make this a book to cherish.

Lancaster Bakery is beautifully presented, with easy-to-follow recipes, stunning black-and-white photography, and carefully considered, endearing stories about childhood. These aren't sugar-coated memories either, and many will get readers in the emotional breadbasket.
